We departed from Cowes on Friday 28^th May, and headed for Falmouth.

The weather has been appalling over the last few weeks, so we were very happy that we had calm seas and a gentle easterly breeze for our shakedown cruise to Falmouth.

At the moment it is only Sally & Jeremy onboard Astra, while we get used to living on Astra again.

Dolphins joined us to play alongside Astra as we approached Falmouth, which brought back many happy memories of being on Astra!

We now have a couple of days to explore Falmouth, and will then be looking for a suitable weather window to head round Lands End and up the Irish sea to Scotland.
